Green and bright. Rich hay butter meadow flowers. Buttery on palate with a lot of verve . Deep with long finish. Way better than standard Bourgogne. Excellent

On the nose smoke, almond paste, ripe pear and peach, pastry cream and minerals. In the mouth great concentration, chalky with a little bitter finish. Acidity keeping balance in check. The finish is rather short revealing the wines humble origin, very enjoyable for what it is.

This is clearly a step above most other Bourgogne Blanc, taste this blind and you would probably guess a village Puligny. This shows notes of ripe nectarine, citrus tart, almond and hazelnut. The palate is lively, bright yet with substance and character, with orchard fruit, guava and hazelnut, the mid palate shows persistence, finishing fresh. 91-92

Une puissance et une profondeur exceptionnelles pour un générique. Quel vin! Dense et long, avec une texture veloutée, il y a beaucoup de vin dans le verre, à prix doux pour la qualité. 89-90 pts

A solid Bourgogne Blanc which is a great value at ~$33. Aromatically intriguing and spicy there is enough going on here to keep my attention. In the mouth, nice tension on entry, definitely not flabby, focused, medium-deep mid-palate, decent cleansing finish. I have not yet discovered anything that offers a better value in BB this vintage.

Perfectly good regional wine, and for about 10 minutes, a few hours into day 1, spicy and really very good. But mostly this is just a correct wine, with a good balance of fruit and mineral and acid, and pretty good pungency. I had thought maybe this would blow me away as a regional wine, as many of the vineyards are apparently in Chassagne proper. Nope. It’s just a good Bourgogne. And it tails off noticeably on day two.

Toasty highlights, ripe rich lemon and lime citrus cordial and a little grilled pineapple; all very ripe and sunny, with good freshness and definition. Super!
Full and fruity on the attack, there is a silkiness to the texture, more toasty flavours, tangy acidity and great intensity. More lemon citrus, white fruits and pineapple; medium-bodied and nicely fresh without being too lively.

As good a regional burgundy as I have had. Would definitely have guessed village Puligny if tasting blind. Great intensity, structure, and length.

Very classic. Nice acid. Wee bit of scorch...in a good way. Shared with the Hongs.

Really a great bottle of bourgogne blanc. Incisive yet balanced, with way more concentration than you'd expect at this level. Stellar qpr.
